Hi, I'm Spencer.
I help gay men cut through the fitness confusion, build real physical strength and unlock genuine body confidence.
Let's be honest. The fitness world is noisy. One week you are told to cut carbs, the next you are told to eat nothing but protein. One influencer says you must live in the gym, another says lifting weights will make you bulky.
If you have ever walked into a gym feeling completely overwhelmed, or stared at a menu wondering how to balance a social life with your fitness goals, you are not alone. I built UNION Fitness specifically for you.
And I "get" you! I understand what your true motivation is. My coaching space is entirely unedited - we can talk about what you truly desire and how fitness is going to help you achieve it. Unlike other coaches, you won't need to filter what you say or tame your goals to make things more comfortable.
Why Mainstream Fitness Fails Us
For many gay men, the journey to feeling great in your own skin is personal. Too often, commercial fitness spaces and generic online plans push an all-or-nothing mentality. They demand that you restrict your lifestyle, isolate yourself from friends and follow rigid, unsustainable routines.
A traditional coach might tell you "you look great" and genuinely mean it, but they are usually measuring your progress against an average dad-bod baseline. My clients are not training to beat the national average - they are preparing for a pool party, a holiday or a community event where body comparison is real and constant. Pretending these specific standards do not exist isn't kindness, it is simply a trainer who does not understand the assignment. I know exactly what the assignment is. I use clear, no-nonsense science to build a training and nutrition programme designed for the exact rooms you want to walk into with total confidence.
But I go beyond just a metric on a scale, a strict workout log and the reflection in the mirror. I work with you on your whole-body, your mind wellness and build you a long-term healthy lifestyle.
With over 30 years of teaching and coaching experience, my approach is designed to strip away the guesswork entirely. I have spent three decades refining what actually works with people, allowing me to provide clear, evidence-based nutrition and structured strength training tailored precisely to your lifestyle, capabilities and age. There are no short-lived fads or complicated jargon here - just decades of proven, simple and effective coaching strategies that deliver results you can see and feel.
Behind the Coach
I practice exactly what I preach. I value a balanced life. When I am not coaching clients or designing programmes, you will find me enjoying a production at the theatre, experimenting with photography or planning my next travel adventure. Check out my travel blog.
Living near Bath, I love exploring the outdoors and going on walks, but I also love a great movie and a fantastic meal - and I love cake!
I share this because I want you to know that achieving your dream physique does not mean giving up the things you love. You can travel, enjoy your hobbies and have a vibrant social life while becoming the strongest, fittest and most confident version of yourself. My mission is to give you the tools, knowledge and independent habits to make fitness fit your life, not the other way around.
When you work with me, we focus on four key pillars of transformation:
Training programmes structured designed to meet your goals - building lean muscle, losing body fat or just to be fitter. I'll make you feel completely capable and confident in any gym environment.
Say goodbye to restrictive diets. Learn how to manage your weight, build muscle and hit your targets. Take charge of your eating habits without guilt through proven nutrition coaching strategies.
Overcome the mental barriers and habits that have held you back in the past, transforming motivation into consistent action. Become the man you want to be moving forward with confience and pride.
I do not just tell you what to do - I teach you the simple rules of strength and nutrition so you can maintain your results for life. It's my belief the best results come when guys understand the "why" as well as the "how".
